    In this paper we will develop a spreadsheet-based Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the number of rattan depot and supply allocation to meet the production centers demand with case study in Solo Raya. The DSS incorporates database, model base, analysis tool, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) and user. Databases for storing data, the model base to keep models, analysis tool is required for solving the model and GUI allows users to interact with the database, model base and analysis tool. Data base, the base model and analysis tool are developed using the spreadsheet. The basic idea of the proposed approach is the spreadsheets can be used to build data-driven, model-driven DSS and solver-driven DSS. The model was developed by consider two stages of distribution network, multi commodities of raw rattan, and multi-periods of production plan. The DSS development approaches used in order to government can efficiently make the policy. DSS software interface is designed so user-friendly with point and click application so that users can operate quickly and easily. Users do not need to formulate a mathematical model despite they want to change index values or parameters repeatedly. The test results of case examples provided also give good results, where the software is capable for processing data based on selected model. The DSS is capable for providing location results and the allocation of raw or processed rattan at the depot on minimal total supply chain cost. The result may be a consideration for the policy makers to determine the right location of rattan depot. Keywords: decision support system, spreadsheet, location-allocation model, rattan industr

    A Facility Location-Allocation Model for Determining Number of Depot to Distribute Material in the Rattan Furniture Industry by Considering Dynamic Demand

    This paper is a study of a facility location-allocation problem in the rattan furniture industry. There are six production centers (PCs) of rattan furniture in Surakarta and its surroundings. However, their export sales are decline due to some possible problems in raw rattan distribution network from the sources centers (SCs), e.g. Borneo and Celebes Island to production centers. In the previous research, the model was expanded to support local government decide to determine optimal number of depot by consider static demand. This policy is aimed to cut the distribution channel and reduce total supply chain costs. Due to changing of global market, the demand is fluctuate. The previous model cannot anticipate this situation; consequently the local government needs a facility location-allocation model by considering dynamic demand. The objective of this research is to develop a model for supporting the local government to decide optimal number of depot by considers dynamic demand. A mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) was proposed to minimize total supply chain costs. The proposed model assumed that the demand for multiple products is known in advance. The potential raw rattan depot and source locations as well as their maximum capacities are also known. Finally, the proposed model can be used as instrument decision making to determine facility location-allocation. Keywords: dynamic demand, a facility location-allocation model, rattan industry competitiveness, total supply chain costs

    Due to inefficiencies of the business processes in small-mid size of bottled drinking water industries, it is necessary to improve them. The improvements are carried out in business processes of production, warehouse, delivery, marketing, and finance departments. The main causes of the inefficiencies are the inefficiencies of the business process itself and that the business processes of those departments were not integrated. This paper is concerned with designing information system to support for the integration of those departments. First, we mapped the business process of each department using flow diagram. Then analyze the inefficiencies of each department. Next, we redesign the business processes and standardize them. The next step is integrating the business processes by designing the information system. We design the information system modular. The modules are marketing module, production module, logistic module and finance module. Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is used to model the system. Relational database management system (RDBMS) is used to design the database. User interfaces are built to ease in using the program application. The outputs of the information system are reports and documents in monitor screen view and in printing. The validation showed that the information system designed can support the business process improvements.

    Collaborative supply chain is a specific topic in supply chain management and studied by industrial engineering students in supply chain management course. Unfortunately, conventional learning media cannot explain the phenomenon of collaborative supply chain to the students. This study aimed to design a dynamic learning media so that inter-company collaboration and information sharing on the activities of Supply Chain entities can be explained effectively to the students. The problem was solved using 3 (three) steps. First, the distribution network was described using mock up. It consists of miniature trucks, miniature network and miniature of the manufacturer-distributor-retailer embedded with tag and reader of RFID. Second, the Enterprise Resources Planning application was developed for supporting business activities. Third, we developed the integrator consists of monitor’s user interface and practice modules. The result of the research - an SCM-Simulator – will be able to improve learning skills of industrial engineering graduates, especially abilities to identify, formulate, and solve the activities of tactical plan & operational routines of Supply Chain entities. However, distribution module designed is for limited scale laboratory study of simple objects.

    Improving Vegetables' Quality in Small-Scale Farms Through Stakeholders' Collaboration

    [EN] Small farms are responsible for 80% of theworld¿s agricultural production although they have difficulties to meet the market quality requirements. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs where modern retailers invest in empowering small farmers have been implemented obtaining an increase of the supply chain (SC) profits in cases where supply and demand are balanced. In this paper, a MILP model based onWahyudin et al. (In: Proceedings of the international multiconference of engineers and computer scientists, Hong Kong, pp. 877¿882, [1]) to select the investments to carry out by modern retailers, and the product flow through the SC in situations of supply and demand imbalance is proposed. Its objective is to find out if collaboration programs have a positive impact on SC profits when supply and demand are not balanced. This model allows for the rejection of demand and product wastes. Results show that collaboration programs positively impact on the SC profits and consumer satisfaction level when there is an imbalance between demand and supply.The first author acknowledges the partial support of the Programme of Formation of University Professors of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport (FPU15/03595), and the partial support of Project Development of an integrated maturity model for agility, resilience and gender perspective in supply chains (MoMARGE).

    Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Model for Production Planning: A Case Study at Sawn Timber Production

    No full text
    The sawmill industry is an industry that processes logs into sawn timber products through several processes to maximize profits and meet customer demand. The process involves essential operations that have to be coordinated to get the desired product with the available resources optimally. Efficient operations can be achieved through optimal production planning by considering some factors to optimize the number of sawn timber product combinations. Optimal production planning is expected to have an impact, such as reducing the use of raw materials that can affect inventory and procurement. In this research, the author has developed a mathematical model for production planning to determine the optimal number of sawn timber product combinations. Problems were solved using mixed-integer linear programming methods with mathematical modeling that aimed for maximizing profit. Production costs, raw material costs, and purchasing costs were critically considered in this mathematical modeling. The result showed that using the developed model could integrate the factors above, fulfill the demand, and increase company income
